ever, by the recollection OF your recent
article on "What Royalty Has Done for
the STAGE" and your readers may be in
terested TO learn what royalty did for the

night with their presence. Waving the
question of motives, however, pass on to
facts. The royal party arrived very late
(well on in the second act), and for some
time alter entering their box made not the
smallest pretense of attending TO the play.
rhe interest with which the British pub
lie watched their movements seemed to
he cordially reciprocated, for the Princes
theatre glass carefully swept the stalls
and circle time after time, while Prince
Albert Victor appeared equally DESTROYS
OF learning TO know by sight as many as
possible of his future subjects.
Little by little the princely pat

the fact that something was happen

concentrated his whole mind upon the
task OF discovering what the play was

would attempt to explain one Of the jokes

| long time he was as smileless as his an

| whole party seemed TO see very little in

which broke the ice. Sir Lucius O'Trig-

"To prevent the confusion that might
| arise fromSur both addressing the same
lady"--; and the tradi tlonaI "gag" is
for Acres to misunderstood Sir Lucius,
and write undressing" instead of "ad:

This struck the royal party as the very
acme OF wit. The Princess OF Wales l
could not see; she was hidden behind her
bouquet; but the two Princes shook and
writhed with prolonged laughter.

A Strange Series of Fires Beginning
in Roland Hatch's Buggy.

RoCKLAND, Oct. 5.-The people of Thomas
ton are much exercised over series of mys-
terious fires. The barn and outbuildings of
the poor farm in Thomaston were DESTROYED
by fire this morning. Loss $1,000; insured.
1t was the work of an incendiary. The fire
department worked well, saving the main
building. Evidently fire-bug has struck
Thomaston as seems to be shown by series
of fires that have occurred in the house of a
respected citizen. The scene of these fires is
the story and half house of Roland Hatch.
situated on the main street of the town. Mr..
Hatchis aged about so years and his wife is
nearly as old. Mr.. Hatch is the father of
First Selectman Hatch of Thomaston. Satur-
day evening the top of the family buggy and
Its covering was found to be on fire. This
queer confiagration was easily extingnshed,
the buggy being somewhat damaged. The
next afternoon, Sunday, at 4 o'clock, fire
was discovered in Mr. Hatch's house in an
upstairs closet. The fire this time was dis
covered by boys, who saw it burning through
the roof. The fire department put out the
flames, and all was quiet until o'clock in
the evening, when fire was again discovered
in another part of the house, in the western
chamber, up stairs. Here bed was found
on fire, blazing up brightly. There had been
no fire in the room, the contents of which
were apparently undisturbed. No one ven-
lures to offer solution of the mystery.
There is no insurance on the house.
